I don't know about you people, but personally, I always write programs at work by removing boards from my computer and plugging them in a different order.
That's why they are so fit and resourceful. Imagine carrying every IF statement by hand.
That not too far off how they used to program computers with punch cards
Well, it really wasn't. You'd program by punching the cards, and then insert them into the computer. If they brought the boards from a terminal (or replicator), and switched the old ones to the new ones, the entire thing would make sense.
It's a bit similar to how people programed analogical computers at the 50s. But it's actually a lot like programing old sewing machines. The thing those have in common is that their programs were always an order of magnitude smaller than this comment.
